Congrats to Our Fall Product Program Top Sellers! |

By participating in Girl Scout Product Programs, girls gain five valuable skills - goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. They also help power incredible adventures. Girls get hands-on experience being entrepreneurs!
Our go-getters definitely flexed their skills this fall - selling over $485,000 in treats, magazines, and other fun products. Congratulations to all of the amazing Girl Scouts who participated! Follow the button below to see a special recognition of Top Sellers in their respective service units. |
